1 The whole of post-modern life is mediated by a series of abstractions. Creativity, pleasure, imagination, desire, all have a role to play in the maintenance of the capitalist system.

2 Those who do not reiterate accepted mystifications find their activities and ideas suppressed by both the media and the soft cops in the universities and community relations

3 In the past, life was mediated by such abstractions as honesty, truth, progress, and the myth of a better future. Creativity, pleasure, imagination and desire are a further refinement of this process. In the post-modern era, they serve the same function as progress &c., in the classical modern age (1909 - 1957).

4 Creativity is labour reified to moral good; the name of the work ethic after its modernisation. To those who oppose all moralisms, creativity is just as alienating as wage labour. We reiterate the anti-moralist slogan "Never Work" and hold that this formulation embraces the refusal of creativity.

5 Pleasure is a method for the ordering of experience into a hierarchy of desirability. It is an abstraction that negates the lived moment and requires reference to the possibility of past/future (or at least other) experience. We must reject all such systems of value.

6 Imagination is an abstraction that negates concrete experience. It is the central mechanism for the dominance of the image as chief agent of repression in our spectacular society.

7 Desire is the permanent deferral of the actuality of the present in favour of the purported gratifications of an illusory future.
8 We engage an active nihilism for the destruction of this world and all its abstractions:

No more leaders. No more experts. No more politicos. No more thinking 'culture' can change anything except a few bank accounts. The show is over. The audience start to leave. Time to collect their coats and go home. They turn around. No more coats! No more homes!
